The video of Chris Christie yelling at a guy on a boardwalk at the Jersey Shore showed the New Jersey governor in a less than flattering light, but as one incisive commenter points out, it's the light that usually reveals a person's true self. As commenter UncleStu puts it:

Anyone can fake being a nice guy when they are comfortable. Uncomfortable situations bring out the true personalities of people.

True enough. Stay cool this weekend, everybody!
